Most of the attempted murder casesinthe province were caused by arguments, misunderstanding, road rage and provocation;followedby intervention in an argument.

In the reportingperiod, stock theft units managedtosecure 15 convictionsand 35 admission of guilt finesbeingpaid and numerousstolen livestock recovered.
In relation to the theft of non-ferrousmetals,the majorityofthe incidents occurred at municipalities,Transnetand
During the three-month period,policemembers with variouslaw enforcementpartners and communitystakeholdersintensified operations through the tracingofwanted suspects,roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints,stop-and-search actions,high-visibilitypatrols and compliance inspections, whichresulted in the arrest of 4180 personsfor various offences
As alcoholabuse continues to contribute to violentcrime, the DA in the Northern Cape reiterates its call forstricter regulation of the provincial liquor industry.
Reinette Liebenberg,MPL and DA spokesperson for Transport,Safetyand Liaison, said it seemedasifprovincial authorities still lackedthe resources requiredfor effective enforcement.
“Itiscritical that we strengthen the Northern Cape Gamblingand Liquor Board, police, prosecutingauthorities, and communityorganisationssothatwecan catchand convict non-compliantliquor operators,”Liebenbergsaid.
In its commentonthe latest crime statistics,the South AfricanPolicingUnion (Sapu)said thesepositiveoutcomes have been achievedlargely through the commitmentand sacrifice of policemembers and other stakeholdersdespiteongoing shortagesofpersonnel, vehicles and operational resources
“Wethereforecallfor immediate fillingofcritical vacancies,additionaloperational resources and enhanced interventionstocombatalcoholabuse and gender-based violence (GBV),” Sapu said.

“Itisbecomingincreasingly difficult to protectand assist the vulnerable animals in ourcommunity when ourfacilityistargeted by criminals who think theycan just come and takewhatdoesnot belongtothem.”
Steynsaid what wasevenmorefrustrating wasthat somewhere, someone knows who didthis,and that “somewhere, someone has been offered thesewheelsfor sale.”

Die Wêrelddagvir VroueinDiplomatiek vind jaarliks op 25 Junie plaas. Volgensdie Verenigde Nasies (VN)wordslegs sowat21% vanambassadeursposteindie hedendaagsesamelewingdeur vroue beklee.
Waarom maakdit saak?
Dit is bevind dat wanneervroue aan onderhandelingstafelssit,vrede meer veerkragtig is. ’n VN-vroue-meta-analisevan 40 vredesprosesse hetbevind dat onderhandelingewaarbyvroue betrokke is, minstens 15 jaar hou, watveellangeris as wanneer slegsmans betrokkeis. Navorsing en statistiekedui ook daarop dat wanneer vroue senior posteindiplomatiek en die parlement beklee, hulle meergeneig is om beleide te bevorder en deur te voer watmaatskaplike samehorigheid, omgewingsvolhoubaarheid en billike ontwikkeling bevorder Vandag, met konflik watvermeerder,kan die wêreld nie bekostig om meerasdie helfte vansy diplomatieketalent op die kantlyn te losnie;vroue in diplomatieke posteisnie ’n kwessievan simboliek nie,maar strategiesenoodsaaklikheid vir vrede, voorspoed en vir die planeet, aldus dieVN.

VolgensStatistiekeSuid-Afrika wasdie nasionalejeugwerkloosheidsyfer in die eerste kwartaal vanvanjaar45,8% vir 15- tot34-jariges Diegene tussen 15 en 24 jaar het die hoogste werkloosheidsyfer van60,9%,terwyl40,6% van die 25- tot34-jariges werkloos is Kommerwekkendisdie groeiende aantal 15- tot34-jariges watnie in diens,onderwys of opleidingisnie –statistieketoonaan datmeer as vier uit tien vandié groepering hier ingedeel kanword.
Verskeie sektorekan waarskynlik bydraom die werkloosheidsyfer te verlaag,enomhoopby die jeug te skep
VolgensIpelengMabusela, hoofbeamptevan Retail MotorIndustryOrganisation (RMI), is Suid-Afrika se jeugwerkloosheidskrisis en die motorsektor se tekort aanvakmanne saam ’n kragtige geleentheid.
In ’n artikel op businesstech.co.za sê Mabusela die ruggraatvan onsmotor-envervoersektore –meganici, elektrisiëns, paneelkloppers en tegnici –verouder vinnig, terwyl te min jongmenseintreeomhulle te vervang.

Hy hetaltydsomooinasywerkskoene gekykdat dieselfdepaar skoene hom’ndekadeoflanger gehouhet. Hy waskantoorgebonde, so sy werkskoene hetnie lang afstande afgelênie.Wanneer hy tuis kom, hethyouklere en skoene aangetrek voordathy takies in dietuinverrig het.
Dietyd vir nuwe werkskoene hetaangebreek. Die begroting was knap.Hyhet by ’n paar winkels ingeloer en eindelik met baie mooi werkskoene in sy hand gestaan.
Dit wasbaie duurderaswat hy verwag het.
“Dit is mooi,”het sy vrou gesê
“Het jy swartwerkskoene nodig?”
Hy hetverduidelik dathyeintlik twee pare werkskoene benodig: swartenbruin. Omdat dit soveel
duurder isaswat hy verwag het, het hy geredeneer hy kannou die swart paar koop en volgende maanddie bruin paar
Sy vrou hetvan hom verskil. Volgende maandisdaarander gatewat toegestop moet word en dalk is hierdiegrootte skoendan uitverkoop. Sy weet hoemooihyna sy werkskoene kykenhoe lank dit hom hou. Oorminder as twee jaar moet hy aftree
Hulle kannet soweloëtoeknyp en noualbei pare skoene koop
“Koopalbei,”sêsy.
“Dit is in elk gevaljou laaste paar skoene.”
Hy hetgelag en met altwee pare na die kassieregestap. Die verkoopsvrou hethulle geskok aangekyk.
“Sylaastepaarskoene…” hetsy hardop die woorde ge-eggo. Sy vrou wouverduidelik dat sy spesifiek vansywerkskoene praat. Dat, volgens die patroon, sy werkskoene baie langer as twee jaar gaanhou.Dat hy,náaftrede, nog pantoffelsentekkies en plakkies en ander skoene gaan koop
Soms sê ons eending, maar bedoel ons iets anders.Soms kry’n mens kans om diemisverstand reg te stel.Soms nie
stemenskry dit goureg,maarwat vanerkenning gee?
Hoekom fokusons niemeerdaaropnie?
Of dit by die huis,bydie skool, by die kerk of die werk is,hou togopommense af te breek, te kritiseer– begin mense optel, aanmoedig. Gee erkenning waar erkenning nodigis.
Sien raak waar iemand gekomplimenteer behoortteword. ’n Mens woon en werk nie om gekomplimenteer te word nie, togdoenerkenning ’n mens die wêreld se goed. Hoekom iemand te na komasjyiemand goed kandoen?
